Nils asked me whether I knew about a WordPress plugin that would verify a comment author’s e-mail address. I didn’t, so I wrote one myself.

The plugin is in its early stages, the current version number is 0.1 – you are welcome to test-drive it and watch it grow, or watch me procrastinate and forget about it over my day-job :/ if I do, go ahead and nag!

Yes, the plugin sends a message to the comment author, never to the admin. Having email sent to the admin is a WordPress core feature. — I will have the core options relevant to moderation and comment notification added to the settings screen in a future release…

I’m happy things worked out for you, and yes: the new host may have been the trick. — There are a great number of things that can go wrong sending email from a PHP web application such as WordPress and I intend to add links to helpful articles to the contextual help… this is work in progress.
